I wish I could also deliver Ohio but we have the “mistake on the lake” (Cleveland) that sways us blue; like Gary Indiana pulls Indiana and Chicago jerks the otherwise bucolic Illinois.
But people have to KNOW the dastardly deeds O is pulling. Media will not report
I thought all the Congressmen from southeastern Ohio were R’s. Yes, if there is a D in office, he will lose, despite O firing up the atomic plant (temporarily) again. The old political football.
Ted Strickland had some appeal to them but then he ran for Governor (and got beat by Kasich and wants a come back).
You are absolutely correct. Last week, a friend of ours who is black approached my wife and asked her where she could get a Mitt Romney sign for her yard. She voted for Obama four years ago, but not this time. Her comment was, "I gave the brother a chance four years ago, but not this time."
Most don’t see it, though. The full effects of the war on coal by the EPA haven’t percolated through the system yet, so most of the sheeple are unaware of just how extreme and costly what this Administration has done will really be.
This is really good news.
Nobody ever expected that ethnic Catholic Democrats in the auto unions in suburban Detroit would vote for Reagan, either. The secular liberals learned the hard way that social issues like abortion can upset the apple cart of classical Marxist and socialist economic theories. People sometimes vote according to things which are more important to them than economics.
When economics and social issues combine, the rejection of traditional political alignments can be even more powerful.
Depends on how good his ministry of propaganda lectures people on environmentalism. I’ve “debated” with several people who seem to think that switching to “green energy”, even if it works, will be an easy process with absolutely no bumps.
Combine hate Whitey and Jacksonian Democrats. They don't mix very well.
"This radical environmentalist policy enraged Cecil Roberts, president of the United Mine Workers, who said that the regulations represent a 'decision by the EPA that we're never going to have another coal-fired facility in the United States that's constructed.'"
They have be deaf, dumb, blind or declared mentally incompetent. It's not confined to coal or the other so called fossil fuels. This isn't some abstract notion of labor's solidarity. It's not just the worker's but the family members as well and how are they going to pay for food on the table and the roof over their heads!
